In the world of cars every journey begins with the first turn of a wrench. Often, "first projects" never see the light of day. The difference between those who succeed and those who don't may lie in the fact that those who develop their talents never give up. They keep pushing themselves to reach higher and higher skill levels.
SolidMasters’ design team is no stranger to the world of custom car builders. Our efforts are well documented.
For the aficionado of the homebuilt custom car, Fred Vierheller has proven time and time again that persistence complements creativity, leading many trendsetting custom cars to roll from garages. During his career as a Mechanical Designer, he has worked in big and small shops. As computer designer he shared his talents with Lill' John Buttera for seven years. Still one irrefutable fact remains: some of his best work has driven out of his home garage.
His close friend J.C. Alvarez received the Race Engineer of the Year in 2006. Currently, he has been spending his days as a design consultant for SolidMasters.Yet he remains modest and unassuming. Talking about himself, he says "I'm just a tiny piece of the overall picture."
Gaston Baudena is our Lead Craftsman. He has been restoring and building cars from a raw sketch for selective collectors for more than 20 years. His talent brings him to the states serving the largest car manufacturers in the US. His signature: singular attention to detail.
